Compact and easy to use pulse discharge degausserThe DataGauss is the most powerful compact continuous degausser
for Hard Drive and Backup Tapes in the Verity Systems range.
It uses state of the art pulse discharge technology to achieve a
complete secure erasure.
Media that can be erased includes both Hard Drives that use
Perpendicular and Longitudinal recording techniques up to 5000
Oersted's and all common backup tapes.
Operation
The DataGauss is a table top, chamber degausser, making operation
safe, effective and simple for everyone. Operators simply slide the
catch and the lid lifts up automatically. Place the media into the media
compartment and close the lid. The erase cycle is started by pressing
the 'erase' button on the control panel which activates the charging of
the powerful degaussing magnetic field. When the display says the
degauss cycle is complete the lid can be opened and the media
removed. The entire process takes just 45 seconds.
Throughout the whole erase cycle the onboard processor monitors
the erase procedure ensuring that it is completed correctly. The
operator is immediately alerted to any interruptions in the cycle by
messages on the LCD control panel.
Safe & Secure Operation
With safety in mind and to meet the latest ICNIRP Magnetic
Exposure
Guidelines, the DataGauss's field discharge duration is less
than a second and the magnetic field is designed to be concentrated
inside
the chamber.
Who Recommends Hard Drive Degaussing?
As part of their guidelines for the sanitization of magnetic media
degaussing is recommended by the following organizations:
• National Institute of Standards & Technology
• Department of Defense
• Government Security Organizations
The DataGauss is designed to help you comply with the following
Government Mandates that require destruction of sensitive
information stored on Hard Drives and Backup Tapes before their disposal.
• PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard
• PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act)
• NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
Guidelines for Media Sanitization NIST SP 800-88
• NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
Guidelines for Media Sanitization NIST SP 800-36
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
• HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability
Act)
• California SB-1386
• IRS-1075
• CJIS
Who uses the DataGauss?
• Banks
• IT Departments
• E-Recyclers
• Corporate
Note: After degaussing,
hard drives should not be not be reused as they are stressed in the
erasure process. Some backup tapes may not be reusable after degaussing
due to the servo track being erased.
